M3gan 2.0’s Ending Is Shameful Pro-AI Propaganda


It’s like if Sarah Connor ended Terminator 2 by asking, “Is Skynet really that bad, anyway?”

That machine, an early attempt at a helper robot that went haywire and started killing people in 1984 — the year The Terminator came out, incidentally — is being kept in a highly protected underground prison at the Palo Alto tech company where it was created. Thankfully, M3gan has decided to sacrifice herself in order to save Cady and the human race — not because she’s been programmed to, but “because it’s right.” With an EMP charge affixed to her that will destroy every machine in the vicinity, M3gan grabs Amelia from behind and all three robots are killed. Gemma’s final plea to the government is even worse, a complete abdication of her morals and a baffling about-face given that she just watched the Amelia android gain autonomy and instantly try to wipe out the human race.
